So a co-worker asks if I'd help a friend of hers sell or get rid of a Porsche she has sitting in her garage. Apperantly her husband passed on a few years ago and this car has been sitting in the garage for about 10 years while undergoing a full on restoration.

Rebuilt motor sitting in the corner, straight chassis sitting in the middle of the garage, she has no idea if it's a 914 or 911 or ????

All I got was she thinks it's either a targa or convert.

actually I am hopeing it's a /6 or a 911

What if its a 928 or a 944?

It's a 924.

no targa made in either model, so if it' a convert. good chances of it being a 944 if it was a waterpumper.....I have no interest in any of those models, so I'd politely give her a link to craigslist and say "good luck"

QUOTE

It's a 924.

who in thier right mind would "restore" a 924???

It's a 917, whata bet?

356???

QUOTE (itsa914 @ Jul 12 2005, 12:08 PM)

Let me be the first.... please

ROLFMAO Paul....

I think it's an RSK.

It's probably gonna be an Abarth, in which case I'll have to go up there & hurt ya. Then bring the car back here.

Make sure the sales receipt is notarized and has a clear title....

I'll lay five - to - one it's a FIAT.

That's better than what I was going to say.

It's a tractor!

I would take a Porsche Tractor, but then again I live in Indiana

My guess: Karmann Ghia 'vert, most people don't know the difference between Ferrari's and Mitsubushi's

I'd keep it for sure if it was a Porsche tractor

yup! I was looking for a ghia when I found a teener... one drive and I was sold... but the ghia LOOKS better...

maybe we need a mid-engine ghia conversion...

If Jon does not get rid of that new-to-him-2.0, I might be posting the same thread in a few weeks

My first guess was 924, but that's been taken.
My seconds guess was Ghia, but that's been taken too.
So... I'm going to have to go with Fiat X1/9.

-Ben M.

ps - Good luck Mike. All kidding aside, I hope it's something nice.

If it's taken 10 years to restore, and put the poor guy in the grave, it has to be a 914 he had shipped from the east coast.

Pulled the rockers, and that was all she wrote....

All of ya. I drive a 924 to werk where I restore Fiats. You're all a bunch of bastards Of course the 924 has been sitting since last Thurs with a busted fuel pump But up until then I drove it everyday. Except for that one day when the coil went out, and those 2 years when I let it sit cause the pilot bearing kept going south. Yeah I hope it is a 924

I saw a BMW 1600 convertible the other day.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure they never made a convertible 1600. If they did they're darn rare.

Of course. This is California.

They did make them, they are darn rare. This one could have been a custom job but it was in PERFECT shape...

I asked about it today...she wants to clear a path in the garage so that the car can be seen...it sounds like they have done nothing but store boxes and stuff all around it....

so maybe after work

may I have a drum roll please...

not sure what is worse, the anticipation of seeing it or trying to figure out how to butter up my wife in case it's a car that "must" be kept

Just put it under your workbench with a blanket over it.
